Categories     Appetizer     Lunch

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 potatoes (large, baking variety)
4 strips bacon
3/4 Cup Cheddar cheese (grated)
2 Spring onions (finely chopped)
Few sprigs chives (finely chopped)
Sour cream (to serve)
Sea salt
Fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 F degrees. Scrub potatoes and pierce the skin in a few places with a knife. Place on rack in oven for about 50 minutes to one hour.
  • While the potatoes are baking, fry the bacon. In a skillet set over medium heat, add the bacon and cook for just a few minutes per side. Remove from heat, drain in paper towels and roughly cup up the bacon.
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven and slice them in half and then in quarters lengthways. Place the potatoes on a baking tray and sprinkle over cheese, bacon and spring onions. Place back in the oven for about 10 - 12 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle over chives and season with salt and pepper.

CRISPY CHEESE AND BACON POTATOES



Crispy Cheese and Bacon Potatoes image

Crispy roasted potatoes, topped with melting cheese and plenty of crisp bacon are a great side dish for any meal.

Provided by Mary Younkin

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 pound bacon
3 extra large russet potatoes (peeled and chopped into 1/2"-3/4" pieces, about 6 cups worth)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend shredded cheeses
3 green onions (sliced thin)

Steps:

  • COOK THE BACON: Spread the bacon strips out across a large rimmed baking sheet pan and place on the middle rack of a COLD oven. Set the temperature to 400 degrees. Set a timer for 16 minutes and check the bacon. Remove it from the oven when it is as crisp or crunchy as you like. I remove ours at 18 minutes and it's a great balance of chewy crunch. If you like your bacon crispy enough to crumble, you will probably want to cook it another minute past that.
  • COOK THE POTATOES: While the bacon is cooking, peel and chop the potatoes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain. There should be 2-3 tablespoons of bacon grease left on the sheet pan. (If there is more than that, drain off a bit.) Put the potatoes on the pan and toss with tongs to thoroughly coat them in the bacon grease. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer and bake for 20 minutes, stir well and bake an additional 20 minutes. Stir again, making sure that none of the potatoes are sticking to the tray. Bake another 15 minutes.
  • Chop the bacon into small pieces. Remove the potatoes from the oven, stir again and sprinkle generously with shredded cheese and chopped bacon. Return the tray to the oven and bake an additional 2-3 minutes, until the cheese has melted. Top with sliced green onions just before serving. Enjoy!

8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup chopped green onions

Tips:

  • Use the right potatoes: Choose russet or Idaho potatoes for the best results. These varieties are starchy and have a fluffy texture that holds up well when baked.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: Cut the potatoes into even-sized wedges so that they cook evenly.
  • Toss the potatoes in oil and seasonings: Toss the potato wedges in olive oil, salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before baking. This will help them to brown and crisp up.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Spread the potato wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet so that they have room to cook evenly.
  • Bake the potatoes at a high temperature: Bake the potato wedges at a high temperature (425 degrees Fahrenheit or 220 degrees Celsius) for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Add the cheese and bacon: Once the potato wedges are cooked, top them with shredded cheese and crumbled bacon. Return them to the oven for a few minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Potato wedges with cheese and bacon are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and loaded with flavor. Plus, they are a great way to use up leftover potatoes. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give these potato wedges a try!
